Patchwork 3D Enterprise 2026 is out!

Hi everyone,
We are pleased to announce the new features of the Patchwork 3D Enterprise 2026.

Here is a summary of what’s new:

Configuration preparation simpler

Patchwork 3D 2026 introduces the Configuration Scheme workspace, designed to make appearance configurations easier to set up and maintain.

Instead of creating each configuration manually, users can define configuration schemas based on zones, materials, and naming rules. The Configuration Scheme then automatically organizes and generates the corresponding appearance configurations, making it easier to manage multiple product variants from the same model.

This workflow helps structure configurable products more efficiently, especially when several appearance variants must be prepared from the same model. Configurations can then be generated automatically from the defined zones and materials.

The generated configurations can then be reviewed in the Configuration Browser.

Lighting workshop UI improvement

The Lighting tab UI layout of the Shaper left-side panel has been improved in Patchwork 3D 2026. Settings are better grouped, and the collapsible parameter boxes reduce the panel’s visual density. This improves readability and makes it easier to access the relevant Lighting Layers, Light Settings, and Light Settings boxes, guiding users more smoothly through the setup process without changing the general lighting workflow.

Increasing number of samples in Mirror materials

Patchwork 3D 2026 increases the maximum number of samples in Mirror materials from 128 to 512.

This improvement provides more control when refining mirror reflections, especially in scenes where reflected surfaces require a cleaner result. Users can now increase the sample count further when needed to reduce visible noise and improve reflection smoothness, while keeping the same material workflow.
